I also hate how it’s kinda clear the author likes that molester/rapist Pilgyeom.
I really hate when authors write irredeemable pieces of shit (mainly rapists and abusers) and then try to give them a “sob story” and attempt to persuade us into feeling empathy for them or try to minimize their horrible actions. Pilgyeom was a literal abusive psycho and deserved to suffer and die. I Hated that not only did we get an imagined rape scene of Soongap and then an actual graphic rape scene and somehow Pilgyeom gets to live after all of his abuse of Soongap?? Seeing so much Soongap x Pilgyeom content in this story was really disappointing and uncomfortable as well. I hate when authors write in a way that makes it very clear that they not only enjoy writing about sexual abuse of their characters but it’s also very clear that the author likes Pilgyeom and tries to make it seem like Pilgyeom really loves Soongap (by saving his life, sacrificing himself for him) when in reality, he was just obsessed with possessing Soongap

as much as I like this story I wish the author would’ve done some things differently so I could’ve absolutely loved this story just a bit more. I really hate that during the entire story, despite Bongchun saving Soongap from slavery, taking care of him, treating him so well, being so loving and protective of him, and never actually considering or treating Soongap as a slave or servant, he allows Soongap to think he is a slave and refer to himself as one. He doesn’t tell Soongap he isn’t a slave and that he shouldn’t refer to himself one. Idk why he never tells Soongap to call him “Bongchun” or that he is free now. And it was frustrating that they barely touched on the issue in the side stories. I guess Bongchun was more so confused on why Soongap proceeded to call him that/ and then told him he was his bride but this is something that needs a conversation and should be made very clear. And knowing that Soongap feels like he owes his life to Bongchun, it’s uncomfortable seeing that in a way, Soongap still sees himself as servile rather than an ordinary free man. And that’s there’s still a slave-master label that I can’t get past.
